A beautiful woman closes the mouth of a lion. The lion as king of animals represents the lower self, which is here subjected to the higher self. The lower self is the animal, the instinctive in man. These qualities are transformed throughout the process of the soul's growth. This is not done with all power, but by inner strength, spirit power. This spirit force is love; the lion submits to the woman. He is held and controlled by love.

The lemniscate above the head of the woman is the symbol of eternal life and of consciousness.
The wreath of roses expresses the liberated and tamed lower desires. The desires are ennobled.
The woman's white robe represents purity and spirituality, the lion represents passions, the lower drives.

The yellow background reflects the thinking world (Mercury).
The green is the color of nature and benevolence.
The blue mountain can be seen as a piece of heaven, which is experienced, if you manage to stay ahead of the lion.

The force symbolizes the struggle within us. The lower nature is subjected to the higher self by the power, which has love. The heart silences the mind. Duality between thinking and feeling. It is a card full of passion, fire, intensity. Inner growth.
